The Lord's Strength

Throughout my life, I fell hard to the ground

The pain inside was unbearable, the fear and stress that made my head pound

The hot tears that rolled down my face

I felt everyone else was leading, but I was the only one losing the race

I felt the whole world sitting on my shoulders

I might as well have been carrying steel boulders

Once and a while I reached a point

Where I couldn't carry on, my whole body felt broken every bone and joint

I felt like a failure nothing I did was right

Every moment I felt I was losing an endless fight

I looked up to the sky knowing that He was there

I cried out in pain and sorrow for I knew He cared. 

"Lord!" My eyes were full of tears

"I don't know where my path is going, I am imprisoned by these fears!"

He seemed to hear me as I saw him holding me tight

I cried even harder for I wished to share in his light

"My child do not despair, for I know your struggles but never think I don't care"

"I see in you the strength and heart, that bestowed to you in your mother's womb"

"And I know you believe the story, of how salvation came from that empty tomb."

"So I say don't give up, use that strength in you"

"Rember that no matter what happens, I shall tell you what to do"

"Now trust me, and do not despair for know that no matter what you go through, for you I am always there."

"So I say drop your burdens, they are not good use of your strength"

"But let me carry them for you, and let me guide you a great length"

"Just follow me my child, and you shall see"

"That all true inspiration and strength comes from Me"

I felt stronger, his comforting words like a refreshing spring

Though I would and still face struggles, I shall let my voice ring

I wish to do my best, even through my flaws

For I know God shall use me to fulfill his laws.

No matter what I face, a path that is successful or flawed 

I must remember that my strength and inspiration all comes from God
